Few men can stand up to Carla Dennis’s strict standards of character. Jake Harrison, her new brother-in-law, is one of the many who fall way short in Carla’s eyes, made worse because of a couple of “facts” about him. she thought she gleaned at her sister’s wedding several months ago.

This has made life much more difficult for Jake, as he fell for the stubborn, unbending woman the minute he set eyes on her almost a year ago. No longer willing to live with the frustration any longer, he determines to set Carla straight about her misunderstanding and then wash his hands of her for good. But when Carla ends up having to take on a declutter and cleaning job alone because her business partner is injured, Jake ends up becoming her temporary helper.

And temporary is what they both want the situation to be. As in, just a few days. And not so much as look at each other if at all possible during that period.
Until two problems crop up. The first is an apparent rat infestation. The second, the deceased hoarder who used to own the house they’re working on has hatched some surprises, all good, for whomever cares enough to take on her decades of junk collecting.

Jake finds the biggest surprise of all, and is sure it’s the ticket to convincing Carla that he’s not the evil person she’s made him out to be. Problem is, she overhears just enough of a phone conversation between him and a mystery lady to cement her negative opinion of him.

Christmas is approaching quickly. The mega-surprise is in danger of being lost forever. Jake needs to get his rear in gear, and fast, if he’s going to give Carla the best Christmas gift of her life.
